the differential between israel and africa is astronomical. many seek ref few refuge in israel. right now, we have become overwhelmed with this. we're a small society. you're seeing scenes from some of our big cities like tel aviv that have been completely overwhelmed. they simply cannot cope with these numbers. we have to find a solution for this problem. some of them will be settled in israel. some will be resettled back in third countries. we're working with the united nations on this, but it is a very painful and complex issue that israel is working on. we have ngos that are very active on the welfare of the migrants but unfortunately there is political rhetoric. there is a heated exchange as you've seen, and what we would like to do is find a way to regulate the border crossing from egypt into israel where the migrants come from. by the way they're abused along the way. it's a very sad huge tragedy. >> cenk: they have not had a welcome reception in any of those countries. i understand that. one last thing when it comes to ethiopian immigrants, they're actually jewish, and n
